LP-PLA2

The Lp-PLA2 Test measures the level of an enzyme called lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2. This enzyme is linked to inflammation in the blood vessels and can indicate a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. This test is often used to assess cardiovascular risk, especially in people with other risk factors like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or a family history of heart problems.
